The hams {'0 be ulkvin biimk, er in other WU emmect t emule received; between the battens. After the sides and bottom of the box have been brought into proper shape in the form, the ends of thebox are connected to the 'batlens when the box'is complete. The box is now ready to be filled or packed, and after the packing operation has been completed the cover or lid can be folded over the top of the box and secured to the side, when the box is ready for shipment. The structure, which I have provided to accomplish this result is very simple and can be manufactured at a small cost. By applying these forms to a pedestal havin a rotary table two boxes can be assemble and filled and made ready for shipment at the same time. This expedient makes it possible to assemble a box either upon the pedestal or upon a table, or in any convenient place as the form or setting frame can be moved about to suit the person assembling and packing the boxes.

is evident that more or less slight changes might be resorted to in the form and arrangement of the several parts described without departing from the s irit and scope of'my invention, and hence do {not 'wish to be limited to the exact construction herein set forth, but:

' Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

'1. In a device for folding boxes, the combination with a pedestal, ofa rotatable table on the pedestal, a frame upon which a box blank is to be folded mounted on the the frame in osition.

2. In a device for folding boxes, the combination with a pedestal, of a rotatable table having inclined faces mounted on the pedestal, setting forms mounted on the inclined faces upon which a boxblank is to be folded for folding and forholdin a box during the packing operation, an on the table for supporting the setting forms on the inclined faces.

In testimony whereof I aidx my signature, i in the presence of two witnesses.
